Check out Mrs. Gordon's 5th grade website. Her kids read online about the Freedom Trail before they went on their trip to Boston and took pictures of historical places when they got there. Back in the classroom, pairs of students constructed simple webpages incorporating their photos. An "imagemap" of the Freedom Trail was made from a drawn and scanned map and kids learned how to create links right on it that led to their pages. Take a look at the link below! http://www.newfound.k12.nh.us/bes/freedomtrail.htm

Baseball Fact or Fiction is a lesson that's all ready for you to do! Get the kids to the computers, print off the fact or fiction worksheet, and let them research to find the answers to fifteen baseball-related statements.

Math Baseball is a tried and true math game from the folks at FunBrain. One or two students may play, choosing from games involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or combination of all four. Levels range from "easy" to "super brain" and there's even an option to have equations presented in algebraic form. Play ball at http://www.funbrain.com/math/.
Another math game for practicing addition or multiplication is Batter's Up Baseball at http://www.prongo.com/math/. Singles, doubles and homeruns indicate levels of difficulty as your player tries to beat the "Visitors" team before the clock runs out. Uses Flash - so it looks that much better to kids!
